What are some advanced features of Haskell?

Haskell offers several advanced features like type classes, monads, and lazy evaluation. Would you like to explore any of these in detail?

Can you explain how monads work in Haskell?

Sure! Monads in Haskell are a way to handle side effects and manage computations. They encapsulate values along with a context, allowing for chaining operations. The most common monad is the 'Maybe' monad, which handles computations that might fail.

What is the difference between 'Maybe' and 'Either' monads?

The 'Maybe' monad represents a computation that might fail, returning either 'Just value' or 'Nothing'. The 'Either' monad, on the other hand, can represent two types of values, typically used for error handling, where 'Left' indicates an error and 'Right' indicates a success.

How do I create my own monad in Haskell?

To create your own monad, you need to define a type and implement the 'Monad' type class, which includes the 'return' and '>>=' (bind) functions. Would you like a code example?
